 A 32-bit kernel on a legacy (or even new) system in 2017 will still
need

12-years-old machine is trash. If someone can buy e.g. new hard
drive,
he can also afford to buy newer PC. New hard drive in 2017 will be
likely incompatible with 12-years-old machine in such way which
can\'t
be fixed by new kernel.
